Capacity basis: Two AESO connection requests combined (MW)

DC Intel assessment

Early-Stage

Why

Top-tier power sponsor and an existing 1,857 MW generation site create an unusually strong physical-power starting point.

Risk

The 1.5 GW is still connection requests; no public anchor tenant, allocation, FID or data-centre construction approval was identified.

Watch

Named partner/customer and a firm power/interconnection/development pathway.

Power strategy

Existing Genesee generation site; two data-centre AESO requests total ~1.5 GW.

An AESO request is not an allocation.
